Italy: “Due Vite” is now a five times platinum record!

One of the biggest “winners” of this year’s Eurovision was undoubtedly Marco Mengoni. Following his win in Sanremo 2023 with “Due Vite“, he accepted the invitation and represented his home country for the second time in Liverpool, finishing fourth.

Having won such a prestigious for the Italian music scene festival, his song “Due Vite” has become a major success. As Mengoni posted himself yesterday on X, “Due Vite” is now a five times platinum record, having sold more than half a million copies since its release date.

The song remains also extremely popular on all streaming platforms. To this day, the official video of “Due Vite” counts 95 million views on Marco Mengoni’s official YouTube channel and over 86 million streams on Spotify.

His record had a warm reception in several European countries, such as Switzerland, where it was also platinum certificated. Moreover, a few months prior, Mengoni released a French version of “Due Vite“.

It looks like Marco Mengoni follows in the footsteps of his predecessors, as several recent Italian Eurovision artists, such as Mahmood, Diodato and Francesco Gabbani, went also platinum following their Sanremo win.

Italy: Listen to the three-minute version of “Due Vite”!

Marco Mengoni who was the winner of the 73rd Festival of Sanremo and will represent Italy in Eurovision 2023, published a little while ago on his YouTube channel, the three-minute version of Due Vite. That is, the song as it will compete in Liverpool!

The changes made to fit the track into the three-minute rule for each entry, are that excerpts from the first verse, but also from the first chorus, were removed.

You can listen to the three-minute version of Due Vite below:

You can also watch the EurovisionFun team’s reaction to Italy’s entry, below:

Italy, as a member of the BIG-5, participates directly in the final.

What do you think of the Eurovision version of the Italian participation? Stay tuned to EurovisionFun for more news about Italy’s participation in Eurovision 2023!

Italy: With “Due Vite” Marco Mengoni will compete in Eurovision 2023!

Shortly after his big victory at the San Remo Festival, Marco Mengoni had left open the possibility of changing his song for Eurovision 2023, which of course is allowed by the regulations of the historic festival.

As the OGAE of Italy reports, in the end Marco will not change his track and thus the country will be represented by “Due vite”. Of course, its duration should be adapted to the Eurovision regulations which want each entry to not exceed 3:00. This automatically means they should be removed from the song at around the 45 second mark.

Italy as part of the Big 5 will compete directly in the Eurovision 2023 Grand Final on May 13. Will Italy manage to continue the streak of good placements?

Italy: Blanco’s case to go to court after Sanremo outburst!

This year’s Sanremo has been and will continue to be talked about due to events during the performances of the participating artists and not only, with Blanco‘s guest appearance during the first night of the Festival being a prime example.

Blanco’s appearance made rounds on media inside and outside of Italy, as the artist, in a move that is still debated as to whether it was planned or not, destroyed the flower sets that had been placed as props for his performance, which resulted to damages on the Ariston stage.

Reactions to this move were not limited to the reaction of the public and fans but have now taken a dramatic turn, with the Prosecutor’s Office of Imperia investigating the case on the charge of destruction of property at a public event, a charge punishable by one to five years in prison. The case is expected to go to court in Imperia.

Aside from Blanco, a second legal case is unfolding starring Rosa Chemical and Fedez, over the kiss they shared during contestant Rosa Chemical’s appearance on the final night of the Festival.

Specifically, a representative of the organization Pro Vita & Famiglia (Pro-Life & Family) filed a complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office of Sanremo, arguing that

“(That of Rosa Chemical and Fedez) is a behavior of unprecedented gravity, which has led to a wave of general indignation for the shame, discomfort and revulsion caused by the vulgarity of behavior in the sexual sphere.”

The organization’s lawyer argues that the kiss between the two artists violates articles 529 and 527 of the Criminal Code regarding obscene acts and objects and obscene acts in a public place respectively. Added to the charges is the violation of laws on the protection of minors with regard to the material shown on television until 11 o’clock at night.

For all of the above, RAI seems to be at risk of a fine of up to 600 thousand euros, in the event that it is found guilty.

Italy: Marco Mengoni said “Yes” to Eurovision but he doesn’t know if he goes with “Due Vite”!

The popular artist in Italy and the country’s representative in Eurovision 2013 returned to this year’s Sanremo festival, winning last night, ten years after his previous victory. Marco Mengoni confirmed he will represent Italy at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, but he hasn’t decided yet if he goes with his winning Sanremo entry, Due Vite! Read more

Italy: Marco Mengoni is the winner of Sanremo 2023!

The 73rd Festival di Sanremo has come to an end, crowning Marco Mengoni winner with the song Due Vite.

Amadeus, along with Gianni Morandi and Chiara Ferragni, were tonight’s presenters. There were also a lot of guest appearances, including a message from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a performance by Depeche Mode.

During the first phase of the final we listened to all 28 songs again for the third time and, after a 100% televoting which was added to the rankings of the previous nights, the first 5 songs qualified to the next phase: the super final, in which voting restarted from zero, not taking into consideration any of the previous voting procedures of the whole week. In the super final, everyone had a say: televoting by 34%, demoscopic jury by 33% and jury of journalists also by 33%.

Italy: Quarta Serata of Sanremo 2023 tonight!

The fourth night of the Sanremo 2023 Festival takes place tonight at Teatro Ariston. All 28 contestants will be performing for the third time tonight on the stage of Teatro Ariston, although this time, they will be performing covers among great successes of the 20th century.

The show

On the Ariston stage, Amadeus will not be alone. On each night, as we know, he will have different co-hosts by his side. In Terza Serata he will be joined by Chiara Francini and Gianni Morandi.

Among the guests of the third night will be Peppino Di Capri and the cast of the cult series “Mare fuori“.
